I'm coming now, I'm coming to reward them
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
-
as always a nice interview with Jon, they are still the light that guide us :D
into more sales from Berlin!
-
I believe a business called Istockphoto recently closed their offices in Berlin. Maybe the offices and the staff previously employed there are still available?
-
Cool! Looks like the place to be, unlike istock that closed their office in Berlin. :)

I feel a little left out sitting here in Munich, maybe "The Man" will stop by again for another dinner . . . . the last one was great fun and "on the house".
-
If I didnīt have family obligations I probably would have moved to Berlin long ago. Itīs a fantastic city.
But Cologne isnīt bad and there are also quite a few nice stock people here.

I meeting up with Niamh and Meagan from SS tonight in Dublin. They are here for the Web Summit where internet companies recruit staff. 350 new jobs for Ireland overall. Not sure if SS is hiring in Ireland. But it crossed my mind to apply for a job at SS and move to Berlin. Its a beautiful city, and I wouldnt mind changing my day job as account manager to a paid day hobby.

^^ Do it

a picture is worth a thousand words and that is shutterstock guys, like it or not!

Are you coming to the Microstock expo Ron? You could visit the new SS office directly...

I'm impressed with SS. My sales have been very steady on SS the last couple months. After 7 years with Shutterstock I'm looking forward to year 8,9 and 10+.
Great job SS and keep up the great work!

I wish I could, but the budget wont allow it for now.
I spoke to the ladies today, and it was a very interesting meet. I will write up some stuff and post it later.
For now I can say, lots of stuff Gostwyck is saying about Jon and Shutterstock is spot on. Shutterstock is not in the slightest going to do stupid stuff that will upset contributors. They follow the forums and they are well aware of what is going on. They dont want any backlash as we've seen at other agencies. They know that having a positive contributor base is eminent to be successful.
As for the IPO, the investors they attract are aware of the philosophy at SS and they know that squeezing contributors is not something SS wants to do. So they know what they are getting into. Its all just really thought out, at SS they have a plan, a vision, and everyone involved is on the same wavelength. Its all about bringing success to Shutterstock, the contributors and the buyers.

LOL @ the down vote... if you werent there, and you werent, you have no clue
-
just absurd, Tyler needs to sort this out, how about making me brunch tomorrow instead of trolling? ;D
-
Got rid of the minus for you Ron. You're right, that was rather stupid.

Really, really interesting stuff (and thanks for the compliment). Good luck in getting a position with SS! You are certainly committed enough to deserve one. Very glad to hear that SS understand the connection between their contributors' success and their own.

Iīve had excellent interactions with people from the SS team. They are extremely qualified for the positions they are in and truly passionate about what they do. They love their job, they love their team and are very proud to be the first tech IPO from New York and not Silicon Valley.
They might develop an even stronger and lively community than istock had. Everyone I know has been really impressed after personal interactions with people from SS. Very down to earth, 21st century business spirit. And they really care about the companies reputation in the contributor community.

In that video Mr Oringer is talking about Shutterstock Android and iPhone apps. Do they really have an app for android where we can take photos and upload them on the spot?

Please spare us the whoo yahs why do you suppose threads like these threads go on year after year? Has SS taken one bit of initiative to solve the very real issues these contributors are having?

I think we were talking about the people of SS being very nice and passionate.
I remember a while back you and I had some sort of understanding, but ever since I took a more positive approach towards SS, you seem to have turned bitter towards me. I apologise if I have upset you in any way, or if you feel betrayed.
I am not nearly as intelligent as you are, and I certainly do not have all the answers, but I will make a mental note that I can expect more conflicts with you.
Cheers.

I see you side stepped the question just as SS has done with the same issues over the years, but that is no surprise. Carry on

How am I supposed to have the answer then? I just dont know, do I? I only had a meet with 2 ladies from shutterstock and you expect me to answer stuff I no nothing about.
I just agreed with Cobalt that they are lovely people.
Thats all I am going to say, I am not letting you drag me into your battle against SS.

I don't think there are too many people who can answer that question... besides perhaps a Shutterstock programmer who has spent a few hours bug stomping

Hello,
The engineering teams are already looking into this issue, which appears to be intermittent and isolated in scope (for example, we can see the images here in our office). Our team should be replying shortly in the thread, if they haven't done so already.
On an item like this, it's always best to reach out directly to the Support email address. Some issues are isolated to very specific circumstances (local networks, configurations, etc...), but every issue is looked at and surfaced for our engineering team for investigation, testing, evaluation and resolution.
Best,
Scott

Thank you for looking into it, I truly hope that you will actually listen to the problems your contributors are having with the site and will the spend the time, manpower and resources needed to resolve the bugs instead of telling your contributors that "it's their computer / browser / internet connection's fault and not a bug. "
And please do not stop at this bug, there are plenty of long term issues that need to be looked at in depth, rather than continuing to gloss over them as meaningless or inconsequential to your bottom line. They are costing your contributors time and money!
